Logging Onto Your System
To use the fingerprint authentication functionality in place of password entry
to log onto your system, you need to set the power-on, hard disk, and
Windows passwords and configure your computer for fingerprint
authentication.
For setting the power-on and hard disk passwords, see "Setting the
Password" on page 6.
To log onto Windows
If your fingerprints are enrolled for your user account, you will be able to
substitute fingerprint recognition for password entry when logging on to
Windows.
1 Swipe the finger with the enrolled fingerprint across the fingerprint
sensor when the Windows log-on window appears.
Window is launched.
You can log onto to your user account just by swiping the finger with the enrolled
fingerprint even if your computer is shared by multiple users.
To configure the computer for fingerprint authentication
1 Swipe the finger with the enrolled fingerprint across the fingerprint
sensor to display the menu.
2 Select Settings.
The Protector Suite QL window appears.
3 Click the Boot Security tab.
The Boot Security tab is not displayed if you have not set the power-on and hard disk
passwords in advance.
4 Select the Enable boot security check box and the Automatically log
onto system after power-on authentication check box.
With the Automatically log onto system after power-on authentication check box
selected, you can start your system and launch Windows by swiping your finger only once.
If only the Enable boot security check box has been selected, you will be prompted to swipe
your finger or enter the password before Windows is launched.
